President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has celebrated Vice President Kashim Shettima on his 59th birthday, describing him as a loyal partner in the task of building a more prosperous Nigeria.
In a message on Tuesday, Tinubu commended Shettima’s courage, tenacity, and commitment to national service, noting that his leadership as former Governor of Borno State and later as Senator for Borno Central proved his belief that governance is about service, not privilege.
The President said his choice of Shettima as running mate was guided by competence and the assurance that Nigeria could rely on his capacity to deliver.
“Every day, as Vice President, you have justified that choice by strengthening our work, bringing fresh perspectives, and upholding our commitment to Nigerians. Your dedication reassures me that I did not make a mistake in choosing you,” Tinubu stated.
He highlighted Shettima’s role in advancing the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, citing efforts in attracting global partnerships, driving food security, and reforming investments at home.
According to the President, their partnership “transcends official duties” and symbolizes unity across regions and traditions.
On behalf of the nation, Tinubu wished Shettima renewed vitality, wisdom, and many more years of impact.
